Classic Tractor Prices.

[MrNoo]

Same as old cars, 40's and 50's models going down in value, Cosworths and Minis must be near their peak. 90's cars on their way up. Time to bag that Subaru Impreza if you can find a good one, Vauxhall Cavaliers that survived the tin worm are starting to become worth something.

Mk1 Cooper S is circa £50k currently, there are some cheaper but normally question marks over their authenticity. Trouble when values rise, the bent move in.
Got a rare'ish 997 Cooper in Fiesta Yellow that I bought pre lock down for £7k but needed a lot of work, new floors etc etc, had an old 1275 S engine from years ago, so just doing that up, steel crank/Arrow rods and an Arden 8 port head on Amals, SC box/drops, should be circa 145hp so should be a bit of fun, probably worth what I've spent on it to be fair (the engine is prob the most expensive spend wise)

There’s literally nothing that is a good deal anymore, covid and large lumps of money have screwed most hobbies as daft money has turned up cars watches tractors anything that they are not making has tripled in value except for bare agricultural land, that’s actually dropped a fair bit in the last few years fudging great my mate has several mini cars coopers ect I asked him if he drives them, he says no they are now to valuable ….Sad really

When i started here on my own in the late 90’s i used to run a lot of series 10 Fords the most i ever paid was £ 11000 for a 1600 hour silver jubilee 7810 and i didn’t really want it because of the colour but it was low houred so i bought it. The next most expensive was a 13 year old 7810 with 2500 hours for £8000. They were an ideal inexpensive tractor. In 2005 we were running 2 x 8210 series 3 both of which had cost £ 6000 with less than 6000 hours 4 x 7810 series 3 two which again had cost £ 6000, a Series 2 7610 at £5,500 a 6410 that cost £5000 and an X reg 6610 that i’d picked up for £2000 and a A reg 5610 that was the same plus two P reg 4000’s that came from my Dad and i’d given a £1000 zeach for. All of these tractors were in good condition easilyrepaired and easy to get spares for they were easy to operate and pretty comfortable to drive. As time went on the tractors got older but the prices went up so we changed policy . I still have a 7610 and a 7810 in UK but the money people will pay for these tractors makes no sense to me.

Agree about vehicles/tractors etc, But bare Farmland her in rural Herefordshire is making Good/unfarmable prices ,There is a block of bare land 249 acres , The guide is £12000, heard offers are already a lot Higher!!

What would a Bubble cab 1 owner 7600 be worth approx, all works and cab is not rotten, ex arable only tractor with the hi-low zippy??

Put some pictures up please as iv a friend who has wanted a 7600 for years

 

[keith armitage]

I think anything Ford related has been given a lift by the County bubble. If people can't afford a County anymore they are looking for the next best thing that they can afford. Recent 100 series MF prices have gone up too, some crazy money going for a 135 now. I suppose some of the attraction is that they're light and can legally be towed behind a jeep to go to ploughing matches or vintage rallies at the weekend.

 

[bluebell]

a bit like investing in shares? go into it with the idea now that it might not keep on going up? good luck if you have £200,000 to buy, invest in a tractor, but i cant see it will be worth say £300,000 in 10 years time? but who knows? its a big difference if say you bought a tractor or car a few years back not for the potential value? but because you wanted one first and the price increase is a welcome bonus? abit like the antique roadshow on tv seeing the ups and downs in antique values?

 

[MrNoo]

Well, my old Cat D4 dozer hasnt gone up!!!! Oh to have a shed full of old 205 GTI's and Golf's. Hardly if ever see one around now.

Very scenic place.............and hot today.

 

[Highland Mule]

Ambitious pricing? Looks like the tractor had been fitted with a loader too, judging by the position of the toolbox and I think some brackets.

 

[masseybreaker]

You can actually buy a new Pakistani built one here in Kenya for about 20,000 pounds. Actually it's probably a bit cheaper. A new 240 is about 10,000 pounds.
